For this post, I will discuss Issue #15 of Chapter 6 of Technology Applications for the Digital Classroom. This issue discusses student "screen time" and whether or not it should be limited. The pro side of the issue argues that too much screen time causes a lack of engagement for students in other activities. The con side argues that there is a misunderstanding about what screen time really involves - that it can be very productive and engaging.
I think that there should be a balance between these two arguments. Students should not be simply scrolling through facebook or playing video games that don't engage their brain. However, technology can interest them and allow them to use their knowledge in many different ways, and I don't think that this should be limited.
